| Comments on the clue |
|---|
| 1. | no reason for past tense in the cryptic reading | | 2. | The past tense words "gave" and "held" spoil the wordplay. | | 3. | OK, but not aware of any special hold that colonels may have had, surface not very compelling | | 4. | don't like movement (a noun) as an anagram indicator | | 5. | Obsolete? Go tell that to Liechtenstein, or Monaco. |
